Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis of young children that can be complicated by coronary artery abnormalities. Recent findings suggest that a superantigen(s) may play an important role in stimulating the immune activation associated with the disease, although the origin of this superantigen(s) is unclear. Staphylococcus aureus, isolated from the rectum or pharynx of patients with KD, ...

In this paper, a three-layer GaAs photoconductive semiconductor switch (GaAs PCSS) is designed to withstand high voltage from 20 35 kV. The maximum avalanche gain and minimum on-state resistance of PCSS are 1385 0.58 Ω, respectively, which the highest values reported date. Finally, influence bias on stability analyzed. evaluated calculated. results show that jitter at voltages 30 kV 164.3 ps 10...
